Quantitative Analyst / Developer (Credit Risk / Counterparty Risk) | Global Commodities Brokerage | £850/Day Inside IR35 | Hybrid (London)
A Senior Quantitative Analyst / Quant Developer with deep experience across Credit Risk, Counterparty Risk and Quantitative Model Validation is required by a leading Global Commodities Brokerage to play a key role in a major enterprise-wide risk transformation programme.
This is a unique opportunity to join a high-profile initiative focused on modernising the firm's strategic risk platform. Working closely with senior quantitative and risk leadership, you'll be responsible for validating, calibrating and assessing quantitative risk models that underpin both Front Office and Middle Office risk management.
This is not a traditional Quant Developer role. Instead, we're looking for someone who combines the strengths of a Quant Analyst, Quant Validator and Quant Developer—someone capable of researching quantitative methodologies, validating models and understanding how they should be configured and implemented within a strategic enterprise risk platform.
You'll be working across a broad range of risk disciplines including Counterparty Credit Risk, PFE, VaR, Stress Testing and XVA, helping to ensure quantitative models are robust, appropriately calibrated and fit for purpose across complex trading portfolios.
